Student Virtual Days Scheduled for November 23rd and 24th

Cannon County Schools would like to inform Parents and Guardians that Monday, November 23rd, 2020 and Tuesday, November 24th, 2020 will be ALL Virtual Days for ALL Students in Cannon County Schools.  This means that students will NOT be “On-Campus” at their schools on these dates, but will be learning from home on those dates.  Teachers and ALL Staff Personnel will report to their respective schools to utilize these days to work on Virtual Learning activities and supports with our students.  Custodians will also utilize this time for additional deep cleaning of the schools.

Cannon County Schools Director William F. Curtis stated, “There has been a recent surge in the number of positive cases and specifically contacts of COVID-19 across the School District.  Other School Districts in the Upper Cumberland Region have decided to ‘go virtual’ on these two days given that students are off for the Thanksgiving Holidays on Wednesday, November 25th, 2020, Thursday, November 26th, 2020 and Friday, November 27th, 2020.  I have been in consultation with the Tennessee Department of Health at the Local, Regional, and State levels, and they suggested this would be a good idea to extend the time to allow students apart from one another.  Cannon County High School has recently seen a surge in contacts and are ‘Distance Learning’ on these days already.  My sincere thanks to Parents/Guardians, our hard-working Teachers, and Staff for their patience and persistence in this unprecedented time.  All of OUR Cannon County Schools Family work hard to achieve OUR NEW VISION – ‘Engaged in Excellence EVERY Day in EVERY Way!’  We urge everyone to do what they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during this latest ’resurgence’ involving our students, faculties, and staff personnel.”
